Review

This is a solid trusty car. Always
starts and drives very well. I hear of
people with new cars having basic
problems and so can't bring myself to
think about changing this car. It is
roomy, teh kids love going anywhere in
dad's car..I feel like this car will go
forever.

I have had good experience with my 1996
T-bird. Overall very reliable car, no
unscheduled maintenance so far.
Traction control with snow tires on all
4 wheels is a must for snowy climate (I
use Blizzaks). Handling is very good
for a relatively large car and
performance is too with the 4.6 V8. 4-
wheel disc brakes are an improvement
over disc/drum on my 1995 T-bird.

Drives like a dream. The only problems
I've had with it is: when I first
bought it, dealer had to put in a new
transmission, the windshield now leaks
(got to fix that), and the paint job
with the clear coat has much to be
desired. It has never let me down. It
is very comfortable to ride/drive. The
controls are aimed at driver (big
plus). The passenger can recline with
ease and comfort for a nap on long
trips. On long trips I enjoy reclining
back and sleeping, it makes the trip go
by faster. VERY COMFORTABLE!! I am
VERY glad I bought this car!! Ladies -
it has "gadgets" that we like to play
with and an excellent sound system.

This is a terrific car. My V-8 has
plenty of pep and handles like a tru
sports car. Other than oil changes and
new brake pads, I have not had to do
anything to this car. The body still
looks like it just came out of the
showroom. I would keep it forever,
exept my family is growing and
strapping babies into the back seat is
a chore. Other complaints are that the
car is awfull in any type of foul
weather and cup holders are useless.

Had this vehicle since it was new, now
have 135,000 miles and climbing. Best
car I ever owned. Regular 3000 oil
changes and 30k services and never had
any mechinical problems. I've been
wanting a new SUV, but waiting for T-
Bird to die first. I may be waiting
for years because this car is extremely
reliable. Very good buy. One
downside: terrible in snow and ice.

I purchased this car used with 26,000
miles on it over 5 years ago and it has
been a pure pleasure to drive. The V8
engine is powerfull but quiet, car
handles and accelerates with ease. For
us baby boomers it's as close to those
great 60'S cars we can be. I was
involed in a side crash(T'Bone) last
year and the vehicle held the road even
though the rear axel broke off. I
thought the car would be totalled but
the value of the vehicle, to my
delight, remained high and it looks as
good as new. Anyone who enjoys long
drives on warm summer nights, just open
the moonroof, turn up the sound and
love your T'Bird

I have always loved the looks of the
BMW 6 series coupes. When Ford 1st came
out with this body style of the 'bird I
immediatly saw a less expensive
alternitive with most of the styling
cues of the BMW. I love the power of
the 4.6 Lt. V8 and the decent fuel
milage for a car this big. My 'bird has
had its share of mecanical problems
starting after I bought it used. So
far: Altinator, warped brake rotors,
leaky power steering pump, rough
shifting transmission, failed odometer
and a general poor build quility
